Neema's septoplasty can't wait - please help us cover the bill

In August I was diagnosed with gallstones with repeated infections. My surgeon at Kinondoni Regional Medical Center recommended septoplasty, and I have been placed on the schedule for October. The hospital's financial office gave me a written estimate of $670, and after what the public health scheme will pay, I'm still $400 short. Doctors at Kinondoni Regional Medical Center told me gallstones with repeated infections will get worse without septoplasty. I work as a security guard, and I have saved what I can, but the estimate of $670 is far beyond what I've. Until the surgery I can't work full days, and my hours as a security guard have already been cut. Every week of waiting means more pain and a bigger risk. Recovery is expected to take about 4 weeks. I'll not be able to climb stairs during that time, so this has become a financial emergency as well as a medical one. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $400 goes: • Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $230 • Travel and lodging for the family: $40 • Post-operative medication: $20 • Physiotherapy sessions: $110 Every share and every dollar helps.
